A very close friend's younger brother died years ago and when we scattered his ashes along the river/creek bed on their land in Mendocino County (within shouting distance of the hog farm) we all sang, through tears, Brokedown Palace. It was, to say the least, very moving.

Attics as intro music( a tribute to my wonderful wife). Then Black Muddy River as a moment of silence kind of thing. Brokedown as the ceremony ends, and folks are waiting to file out.

Can't believe nobody's mentioned "One Kind Favor" ("see that my grave is kept clean ...")

I agree with you on Black Muddy River too, though it gets no love around here.

What about Sing me Back Home.It's a church gospel sounding song to begin with.
